NOTE: The United States can only authorize imports of AMLR harvested by vessels licensed to fish by their flag states for AMLR and fishing consistent
with measures adopted by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources for the conservation and management of the harvested
species.
The Antarctic Marine Living Resources Act of 1984 is the U.S. statutory authority for requiring import permits. In addition, it addresses the activities of
brokers and any U.S. entity in the market chain for Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
Section 306 (3) makes it unlawful to any person to ship, transport, offer for sale, sell, purchase, import, export, or have custody, control of, any Antarctic
Marine Living Resource (or part thereof) which he knows or reasonably should have known, was harvested in violation of conservation measures in force
with respect to the United States pursuant to Article IX of the Convention [i.e., CCAMLR] or in violation of any regulation promulgated under this title,
without regard to the citizenship of the person that harvested, or vessel that was used in the harvesting of, the Antarctic Marine Living Resource (or part
or product thereof). This is in addition to making it unlawful to import without a permit. Thus, this section applies to brokers and any other entity offering
to sell Antarctic Marine Living Resources, whether that entity is an importer of record or not, and whether the resource enters the U.S. market or an
overseas market.
Thus, in your contacts with brokers and with vessels that may be potential sources of AMLR, it is important that you inquire as to whether the vessel holds
a currently valid license authorizing it to fish for AMLR species.
If you have any questions about the status of a vessel offering AMLR species, please contact the AMLR Permit Office of the National Marine Fisheries
Service, 1315 East West Highway, Silver Spring, Maryland, 20910.
NMFS manages Antarctic fisheries and the importation of resulting products under the Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention Act, codified at 16 U.S.C. 2431 et seq.
NMFS implements CCAMLR conservation measures by regulations at 50 CFR part 300, subparts A and G. Changes to the existing regulations are necessary to incorporate
new conservation measures and facilitate enforcement. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including
the time reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send Comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to National Marine
Fisheries Service, 1315 East West Highway, Attention: CCAMLR Permit Office, Silver Spring, Maryland, 20910. Responses to the collection are mandatory. Confidentiality
of information collected will be subject to NOAA Administrative Order 216-100, “Confidentiality of Fishery Statistics.” Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no
person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
